Building creative capacity.

Giving leaders and residents the power to transform their cities - together.

Workshops

Our City Workshops give leaders and residents the tools, support, and motivation they need to transform their city together.

We developed our Workshop curriculum after speaking with dozens of leaders and hundreds of residents across the country about the challenges they face in creating meaningful civic engagement in their communities.

What emerged is a focused, powerful process centered around using public design as a tool for community problem-solving.

We offer two main types of Workshops: Leadership Workshops and Public Workshops.
We also offer fully-customized Workshops based on the needs of a specific community or project.

Leadership Workshops

Build capacity. Build relationships. Build an action plan.

For: 5-25 Cross-sector leaders

Our Leadership Workshops start with inspiration from specific public design projects and strategies from around the world.

Next, the group dives into local needs to reach alignment on vision, goals, and responsibilities with key local partners.

Drawing on Our City’s expertise, we walk through concrete approaches and tools ranging from community organizing to event production to fundraising to ensure the project is a success.

The workshop culminates in a focused action plan for public design that is rooted in local strengths, priorities, and buy-in.
